View full detailsPike & Shotte – 17th Century Historical Wargaming
Pike & Shotte by Warlord Games brings the thunder of muskets and the clash of pike blocks to your tabletop. Set in the 16th and 17th centuries during the English Civil War, Thirty Years’ War, and Wars of Religion, this game captures the disciplined formations and grand battles of the era. With beautiful plastic and metal miniatures, it offers a rich historical experience for hobbyists and history buffs alike.
Pike & Shotte is a historical tabletop wargame from Warlord Games set during the 17th century. It focuses on the era of massed pike blocks, early gunpowder weapons, cavalry charges, and battlefield maneuver. It’s designed for large-scale battles involving hundreds of miniatures, using a ruleset derived from the Black Powder system.
The rules and miniatures are designed to support battles from the English Civil War, the Thirty Years’ War, the Eighty Years’ War, and other conflicts of the Pike and Shot era. You can field armies like Royalists vs. Parliamentarians or recreate famous European clashes from the mid-1600s.
Warlord Games offers plastic and metal miniatures for key forces such as Royalists, Parliamentarians, Scots Covenanters, and Continental troops. Infantry boxes include pikemen, musketeers, and command, while cavalry and artillery options provide full support for building balanced, period-accurate armies.
Yes. While the game supports large battles, the rules are clear and accessible, especially for players familiar with Black Powder. Starter army boxes and rulebooks make it easy to get started, and the visual appeal of ranked 28mm historical miniatures makes the hobby side very rewarding.
While based on the Black Powder engine, Pike & Shotte introduces period-specific rules for pike blocks, musket volleys, and 17th-century command and control. It emphasizes tight formations, limited mobility, and the effectiveness of combined arms on the battlefield. The flavor is very distinct and era-authentic.
Pike & Shotte uses 28mm scale miniatures. Units are based in ranks to represent regiment-level engagements. The scale offers excellent detail while still allowing large army displays, and it's compatible with many third-party historical scenery and accessories.
Products are available through Warlord Games, hobby shops, and online retailers. Starter sets, infantry regiments, cavalry boxes, and artillery crews make it easy to begin or expand your 17th-century forces. The core rulebook and supplements provide historical background, army lists, and scenarios.
